Associated Brands to hire 25 in Medina

Associated Brands, a Toronto-based supplier of private-label dry-packaged foods, is adding 25 new jobs to its Medina facility, with plans to spread the hiring over a four-month period.

The new positions are part of a broader multimillion project at the company, although a spokeswoman declined to elaborate on the scope of the investment. Associated Brands will hire workers for positions associated with a wide range of tasks, from sanitation, engineering and maintenance to planning, line operators and production supervisors.

Peter Kapferer, vice president of U.S. Supply Chain, said in a statement that the new jobs are “a major vote of confidence for our associates,” as the company builds on its cultures of “quality, reliability and continuous improvements.”
